Workshop 1 sets the foundation for the entire Teen Changemaker Civic Symposium. Participants come together for the first time to get to know one another and begin exploring what civic engagement and advocacy really mean. Through discussion and hands-on activities, teens identify community issues they are passionate about and use a problem tree exercise to examine the root causes and effects of those issues. By the end of the session, participants form project groups based on shared interests — leaving with both a team and the beginnings of a shared vision for the change they want to make in their community.
